Derbyshire solicitors Ellis-Fermor & Negus have chosen to
support Treetops Hospice at Risley for their Charity of the Year
2010. Treetops Hospice provides day care support for people
who have a life limiting condition. They are currently
raising funds for a new extension block which will enable them to
care for double the current number of sick guests.
Rachel Honman Marketing Officer at Ellis Fermor & Negus and
Emma Mrvik the office manager from their Long Eaton office went
along to Treetops Hospice and met with George Cameron, Treetops
Hospice Chief Executive and their Fundraising Ripple Appeal Manager
Kate Shaw. Rachel and Emma learnt all about the work that
Treetops Hospice does for its day care guests and more about their
ancillary services including Hospice at Home and the Family
Bereavement Counselling Services. They also saw the
foundations for the new extension which is due to be completed in
June of this year.
The staff at Ellis-Fermor & Negus are planning to get
involved with some of the fundraising events which Treetops host
such as car boot sales, The Experian Robin Hood Marathon,, Charity
Football matches, sponsored walks, as well as some of their own
in-house activities such as dress down days and cake sales.
Rachel said "We're delighted to support Treetops Hospice as our
Charity of the Year 2010. They provide tremendous support to
the local community, both to their day care guests, their carers
and families".
Kate Shaw added, ' We're thrilled to have the support of Ellis
Fermor and Negus. Their 3 offices are very much in the heart of the
area that we cover as a hospice. Truly every pound that is raised
counts. It's a very exciting and important period in our
fundraising because of the new Care Centre. Ellis Fermor and
Negus will be helping to leave their permanent mark in their local
community. We're really looking forward to working together
in partnership with them this year.
